Is Complete Convergence Possible?

After discussing convergence in class it really made me question the possibility of it. In class we talked about how convergence is an ongoing never ending process. I honestly think that at the rate that our technology is progressing I could see it being possible that almost everything could be accessed by one device. Think about it, as of now the iphone has multiple applications for banking, music, entertainment, games, pictures, and basically anything else you could possibly want. Of course you will still have people that will use desk top computers and read the actual physical newspaper, but then there will be those technology hungry individuals that crave the new convergence.

Again I want to verify that I am not saying that there will one day be one piece of technology that dominates over all of the other forms of technology. I am saying that I think it is possible that you will be able to access anything from one device, whether that be a phone or another piece of technology. There will be people out there that will pounce on this device as soon as it is available because everyone wants an easier, user-friendly, fun, small, portable device where they can take care of anything that they need. It is only a matter of time, as mentioned in lecture before technology is every where. Some countries will access it slower than others, but eventually it will reach all parts of the earth, and when that happens the demand will be even greater. The reason being is that usually once individuals have access once to a highly intelligent piece of technology, they will want it.

Everyone knows that the use of social media is addicting and I believe we can tribute some of that to convergence among our technologies. With creators of these technologies getting more and more innovative and coming up with easier, fun, and interactive ways for people to communicate the trend for social media and highly intelligent technological devices will continue to grow. Is convergence who we thank for this? Or have we allowed ourselves to accept the proposed idea of technology being a necessity?
